Storyline

Following the critical and commercial success of Aadukalam
(2011), Dayanidhi Azhagiri signed on Vetrimaaran and Dhanush in January
2011 to work on a film for his studio, Cloud Nine Movies. Production
works were delayed as Vetrimaaran was still completing the
pre-production of Vada Chennai, while Dhanush was finishing other
projects he had committed to feature in. In April 2012, Vetrimaaran\'s
other collaboration with Cloud Nine Movies, Vada Chennai, was shelved
and Azhagiri announced that filming would begin shortly for the project
featuring Dhanush. G. V. Prakash Kumar was confirmed as the film\'s music
director, while it was also announced that Velraj would be the film\'s
cinematographer. After a further period of inactivity, Azhagiri
confirmed that the film would start shortly after May 2013, revealing
that pre-production work had started. Early reports suggested that the
film would be shot with a forest backdrop, and titles including Venghai
Samy and Kaadu were speculated. Manisha Yadav and Amala Paul were
reported to also be a part of the cast, with the former taking part in a
screen test. However in a turn of events, Cloud Nine Movies opted out
of the project and Dhanush\'s Wunderbar Studios took over production
duties. Instead of using the story initially planned for the venture
produced by Azhagiri, Dhanush and Vetrimaaran worked on a different
script based on gambling.

The film
subsequently began shoot on 8 March 2014. The team held a 10 day
schedule in locations on the ECR in Chennai, with Pasupathy, Parthiban
and Kay Kay Menon also added to the cast. The title of the film was
confirmed to be Soodhadi by Vetrimaaran.
